For me German black metal is Absurd, Ungod and Mayhemic Truth though Mayhemic as name is to be Mayhem attapmt or Bathory word conjuration and I think Bathory first!! Great Morrigan ruled Earth too.

From what I (tried to) understand: Yes, Moonblood where considered posers and trendy´s, though not only by Morke members. There are obvious reasons for that but people who are new to the scene think Moonblood was the truest german black metal band of the 90ies or whatever. Anyone remember Andras...?

Didn't one of the MOONBLOOD guys become one of these German HM vinyl collectors? I don't remember his pseudo but he was listed on the metalpage.de website and was always buying rare records on eBay, especially South-American stuff (he probably outbid me on a few of these auctions too)._________________

I thought it was Dissection who reinvented black metal by adding back in the power ballads for everyone who wanted to show Steve Perry their lighter.

Armatus, Wehrhammer, Satan's Sign of War, and all those other related bands also deserve a mention.

If you're able to downgrade your IQ below 85, then maybe yes. Armatus sounds so completely broken, you really need a lot of alcohol to think this is good music. And Wehrhammer seems to have the exact same settings cemented in his equipment since 1996. Of course, I wouldn't dare to say this Krieg face to face.

I'm very glad to have my IQ downgraded down to neanderthal levels while listening to Eternal Flame of Hate. Harsh bands like Armatus, Wehrhammer and SSOW are not for everyone and it's a good thing. Maybe you should just concentrate on the new Watain album instead?_________________Heavy Metal Nuts

I didn't say that temporary dumbness is something bad, sometimes you feel even more lucky in this state, if you're in the right mood for it. Don't take it too seriously.

Moonblood only started to get taken seriously when Judas Iscariot started acting like they were Mayhem. I had a long contact with Gaamalzagoth in the middle 1990s and I never liked their music that much, but he was a nice guy.

What are the Morke guys upto nowadays?

Maybe this is blasphemy to some people, but I always thought Germany had the best bands, and that's truer today than ever before.
